Butternut Squash Frittata

January 8, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Hello and Happy Sunday!

I really hate typing that because I know my weekend is almost over.  It just goes so fast!  Only if the work week would go that fast.  Well I am recovering fine from my root canal.  I’m a little sore but no big deal! I didn’t even take the prescribed medicine.  I really don’t like taking any kind of medicine if I don’t have to.   Funny though, when you need to eat softer type foods I tend to gravitate towards foods I can’t eat like Pizza, Hamburgers, Pita Chips, Pretzels, Nuts and more.  I rarely even eat that type of food!  It’s all in my head I know!  Well I tempted to try chicken for dinner and it worked.  I made it moist enough that it didn’t hurt to eat it!  yeah!!  That’s a recipe I’ll share with you soon!!

So Saturday night, I made another flop dessert.  This time I won’t share a picture with you because it is, well, ugly!  I wanted something sweet that I could chew and I saw a tub of cool whip in the fridge, so I thought Chocolate Silk Pie.  Well, I checked my cupboards and I had a box of Sugar Free Chocolate pudding, but it was cook and serve, not instant.  I made it according to the directions on the stove top, and I set it aside to cool.  Well I didn’t let it cool enough and I mixed in half a tub of cool whip.  The chocolate just ate it right up!  I debated about throwing it out, but I tasted it and it was good.  Creamy Chocolate!  So I put it in my homemade graham cracker crust, and topped it with the remaining cool whip.  Refrigerated it for 3 hours and I thought doesn’t look bad.  Then I cut it and it was really like a pudding mess!  But a mess that was very yummy tasting.  I’ll try the recipe again, but do it up a little better with some added twists, then I will share it with you.  Don’t you hate when you make flops?  At least this one won’t get wasted.  Well now that I rambled on and on, I shall talk about today’s recipe!

So what’s for breakfast?  Remember that big batch of butternut squash I made?  First let me tell it was the best big batch ever, I ate it everyday!  For lunch, as a dinner side and even snacking on it cold.  Well, I made the most awesome breakfast with it.  I liked it so much I bought another butternut squash so I can make it again!  Oh your wondering what the heck I could make for breakfast with butternut squash?  Just see for yourself.


I made a Butternut Squash Frittata.  Oh my was it good.  It almost reminded me of my butternut squash pizza I made a while back!

This little egg dish was so quick and easy.  I took a 10 oz. Ramekin, sprayed it with cooking spray, added 1 cup squash, 2 eggs, milk and goat cheese.  Bake for 35 minutes and it was all done!

What was nice about this dish, is that it filled me up for about 4 hours.  I love having a hearty breakfast, meaning no snacking in the morning!  If you were to have some toast, maybe some bacon, you could easily split this with another person, but then again, it tasted so good, why would you want to?

Butternut Squash Frittata

Ingredients:

1 cup butternut squash, cooked

1/2 cup egg substitute or 2 eggs

2 tbsp. non-fat milk

1 dash pepper

1/2 oz goat cheese

Cooking Spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Spray a 10 oz oven safe dish with cooking spray

Add your butternut squash

In a measuring cup add your eggs and milk. Mix until combined. Pour over butternut squash.

Sprinkle with pepper and top with cheese.

Bake in oven for 30 – 35 minutes, until middle is slightly firm

Let it cool for a few minutes

NOTE:  To make roasted butternut squash, I peeled butternut squash, cut in to bite size pieces, place on a sprayed baking sheet, add 1/4 cup sliced onion, 1/2 tbsp. olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon and a pinch of Cayenne Pepper, mix together with your hands.  Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, flip the squash and bake for another 15 minutes.  You can go to this link to see a step by step on how I did it.

Makes 1 serving

Here’s a picture to give you an idea what the inside looked like.  Not a great shot!

One thing I do love about the weekend is breakfast.  It’s so nice to be able to take the time to make something yummy!  During the week, it’s normally, microwaved eggs, oatmeal or yogurt.  Nothing exciting!  Did you know you could make an egg dish just like this, but place them in a muffin pan and bake them.  Then you have a grab and go breakfast for a few days.

Whats your favorite meal of the day?  For me definitely breakfast!  I love it all eggs, waffles, muffins, croissants, oatmeal, bacon, toast, pancakes and left over cold pizza!  🙂  Yum!  I’m already thinking of tomorrows breakfast and I think I am feeling pancakes coming on!!  But what kind??

Now go make yourself a wonderful breakfast and start your day off right!  Have a great day!!!  Oh, one last thing, if your interested, I updated the Trader Joe’s page with a few more items.

    This really looks delicious! Boy would my kids love to have you for their Mom or maybe their nanny because you are always cooking up something tasty & nutritious (plus you’re lots of fun too!) The yogurt parfaits with granola, oatmeal, quiche, blueberry pancakes & scones among many other things. Heck, I could use some better nutrition myself! I haven’t been cooking much at all this past year because my kitchen just isn’t conducive & lately I’ve been on a lousy schedule because of work. I am lacking energy because of my diet & the boys need better nutrition because they are growing. Thanks for all the helpful tips though ~ I’ll pull it together one of these days. 🙂 Love you!

    I just wanted to share that Silk and pudding mixes do not set up. I have made that same mistake along with several other of my friends. Not sure if it needs something in regular milk to help it congeal. Ours just stayed liquid.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
